I Agree,

CISSP and CEH are 2 different things, and i am not talking about which
one is better, just the scope of them.

CISSP is for Management Security without any technical issues as CEH.
That's why i told at the beginning that the right comparison against
CEH is OSCP from offensive security.

it's not exactly hands-on. Besides, a year's experience isn't enough to meet
the (ISC)2 requirements. I'd suggest one of the SANS certs, if the budget
allows.

Although I took the CEH training, I would argue that the
CISSP is the way to go.
The SANS might be a show stopper for a small training budget...
Just my 2 cents.
Kind regards,

If you dont have problem with budget, go for SANS training
(GCIH or GPen) instead of CEH.

Cheers,

Subject: CEH Course - Your thoughts?

I will be rounding up my first year as a security analyst
soon and my company has offered to send me to a CEH course
taught by Dan Garfield and it is held by IT Training
Solutions.  This is the new v6 course.

I feel very comfortable with locating vulnerabilities on the
network and exploitation methodologies.  I do penetration
testing on my job, but it is a very small part of my daily
activities. I see many tools listed in the description that I
just haven't had the time to go hands on with.... and some I
use extensively.

I would like to ask anyone who has attended one of these 5
day courses to reply with their experiences.  I am looking
for a lab based environment to experiment with tools I
haven't had the opportunity to use.  I am already ingrained
with CIA, AAA & management aspects of infosec as well as the
'anatomy of an attack.'  I want to get to the nitty gritty
and not have the same vague overview I get all the time.
I really want to spend a solid week focusing on improving my toolkit.

Do you feel like this course would be beneficial to me or
should I hold off for something else.  (SANS, Foundstone, etc)
